Genes that Regulate Sleep and Circadian Rhythms – Lecture by Nobel Laureate Michael Young

In December 2018, Nobel Laureate Michael Young gave a lecture to students and young scientists at the University of Science and Technology in China on the topic of “Genes that Regulate Sleep and Circadian Rhythms”. He described his reseach into circadian rhythms and his journey towards receiving the Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine in 2017. This lecture was part of the Nobel Prize Inspiration Initiative (NPII), a global programme designed to help Nobel Laureates share their inspirational stories and insights. By taking Nobel Laureates on visits to universities and research centres around the world, and by capturing their thoughts on video, the Initiative seeks to bring the Laureates into closer contact with the worldwide scientific community, and especially with an audience of young scientists. NPII China 2018 was delivered in partnership with AstraZeneca.
